I have also heard the same. My personal opinion is that it doesn't matter what state you file it in as long as you file it somewhere in America. The reason that I say this is simply because of the fact that by birth you are an American National (as long as you were not born on "federal territory"... like in Washington D.C.!!). It's later on that they contract you into being a U.S. (federation/corporation) citizen.

I just happen to live in the state I was born in... so I didn't have to deal with that issue. But if I did have to deal with that issue, I wouldn't be filing in my birth state. Others may have a different opinion due to the "birth certificate" issue.
